The ear marks on Wahpeton cor
respondence to the Milnor Teller
very much resemble those of the
editor of the Globe, here, and among
the: items appearing last week was
this one /: "1t's a crying shame the
way the saloons are run in Wahpe-
ton. Open all night and all Sunday.
No wonder Wahpeton is dead and
times are dull" There was u time
when Bro. Fally seemed to think
Wahpeton a pretty good town, a
time when distance lent enchant-
ment. But the town is not nearly
good enough for him since he has
been "let into bigger and a better
field--promoted, as it were.' The
town is now "dead." It's too Lad {!

MONTE CRISTO.

Horace Lewis, supported by a
very good dramatic company from
New York,presented that celebrated
drama, Monte Cristo, to good houses
Monday and Tuesday evenings of
this week. Monte Cristo is indeed
a wonderful work of fiction. and as
delineated by Mr.. Lewis and his
support, holds full sway over the
audience from beginning to close.
MIR. Lewis does not make the sort of
a young seaman usually seen on the
stage--not so boisterOus and demon
strative, but the very ideal of can.
dor and integrity, and withal very
good in even this feature of the
drama. James Taylor as Nortier is
exceedingly good all through. 7.
b. Bridgeland as Caderousse, the
inn-keepcr, is good enough. and
Messrs. Fred Julian as Villeforte.
E. II. White as Danglars and G. II.
Patterson us Fernand did first rate
as Williams" while Miss Ada New
ton as Carconte, the inn-keeper's
wife, impersonated u frightfully
wicked woman. From the dungeon
scene on is where Mr.. Lewis does
his fine work. Here for eighteen
years lie languishes in dungeon to-
gether with Able Faria, imperson-
ated by H. NJ. Edwards, a rich old
monk, who dies and bequeaths Dan
tes the Island of Monte Chrlsto, con
tanning millions Of secreted gold.

Dantes secures a knife, and taking
the dead mans place, allows him

ments of the Chateau DIFF. sewed
up in bag, with a heavy weight at
his feet, but instead of going to the
bottom of the sea, he cuts open the
bag, and in a boisterous sea swims
to the land and caps the climax with
the exclamation, "The world is
mine." And from this time on,
sometimes in the disguise of priest
and sometimes as the Count de
Monte Cristo, does up the wicked
and cowardly authorities (D who
tried to work his ruin and death /;
does them up in fine shape. Miss
Lillian Draw as Mercedes does only

the greatest ever put upon the boards
at Wahpeton and we think was rem

j. F. Stevenson: I sincerely hope
this land business will be decided
against the bonanza farmers. With
more settlers we would have more

would not have to hire box car

remain in the country. .
Farmer: 1 hope this indemnity
land will all go back to the govern
ment. A good many of us own rail-
road land on which we owe $1,000
or more, and we would get the same
land of Uncle Sam for 5000 clear
saving Of $500 per quarter section.
DR.. Hanly: Harry Hyatt and my
self, accompanied by three St. Paul
sportsmen, have been to White Rock
bagging geese. We had splendid
luck; some of the geese will go 25
pounds each.
Rev. Edwards: Was called out to
marry Il couple early this morning,
and on entering the house l fell
down through trap door into the
cellar, :nd that is what makes ne
limp.
Mrs. Joe Harff: Saw the president
and his beautiful wife in st. Paul.
She was vision of beauty. while
the presidents countenane vas one
continual smile.
Miller, OF Dwight Farm: We are
going to fight settlers on our lands,
and while we expect to lose some
quarters, we are not going to lose
it all.
Smith: Have written to Bishop
Walker of Fargo to see if we are
going to have Il resident rector fol
the Episcopal Church here.
Maxfield: In ten years the Pro-
hibition party will have wiped out
both the Democratic and Republican
parties.
p. Slotten: One thing that can lie
said in favor of the bonanza farms
is that they all make good roads.

KEEP THE CHILDREN YOUNG As
LONG A. POSSIBLE.

Fashion periodicals give directions for
making children's ball dresses. Daily
papers publish accounts of society events in
which the bellies and beaux range between
6 and - years of age. Little creatures
who ought to be in bed at 8 o. clock after q
supper of bread and milk are found at
parties almost until midnight dancing,
eating indigestible stuff and learning all
the shoddiness, the petty rivalries. the
mean desires which are the most promi-
nent characteristics of that part of com
munity which is called Society How is
it possible to produce high grade Of
physique, intellect or soul upon such a
regimen?
Children learn too fast They are cram
med at school, forced in social knowledge
and neglected at home The longer it
takes life to mature the longer it will
last and the stronger will be all its powers.
The longer child can be kept young and
innocent the more complete will be its
development, the stronger and healthier
"a " 10 VI ~ lat
il it is at school class lower than another
poor strained, congested little mind of the
same age? What if it is bashful and awk-
ward among strangers? What if it tears its
clothes and gets dirty? Let it alone en-
tirely rather than harden it into prema-
ture manhood, which is only an arrested
development. If ii can be healthy grow
ing happy child at IS all the better. It
will be more likely to live beyond the three
score and ten and IL escape suffering
during middle age
Health. strength and beauty are the most
attractive attributes even in society, and
the man or woman who has been child
the longest W i'll outshine the artificial pro-
duct of whom everybody has tired before
it was grown. Parents who think they
fulfil 4 duty by squirting their children
rapidly toward literary and social know
ledge are wofully mistaken. Any horse
breeder can tell them better. \ preco-
cious 6-year-old child is like precocious
yearling colt 1t has done its best, and at
maturity its unnoticed comrade will be
worth twice as much. People dc not seem
to understand that an overweight young
nature cannot 90 ondeveloping. The pro-
cess prevents development.
The race will never reach its best until
the children are kept young and growing
as long as possible. If animal life lasts
but three times as long as it takes to ma
ture. a human being whose growth is stop
ped at - or l6 Will probably die before 30
or if it does not die its forces will be ex-
hausted in which case it were better dead.
Instead of being proud Of precocity, a
parent ought rather to fear it as if it were q
deadly disease-hansas City Times

CHICKENS COMING HOME TO RoosT.

You may take the world as ii comes and goes,
And you viii be sure to find
That fate will square the accounts she owes,
Whoever comes ont behind;
And all things bad that man hats done
by whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him one by one,
As The chickens come home to roosl,
You may scrape ana toll and pinch and save,
While your boarded wealth expands.
Till the cold. dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life s last sands;
You viii have your balance struck some night,
And you1l find your hoard reduced:
Youll view your life in another light
When the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint your soul and starve your heart
With the hlIsks of a barren creed,
But Christ will know if You play Il part,
W i'll know in Your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there be deduced
From Il creed alone? you will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home 10 roost.
Sow MS you WILL there's time to reap,
For the good and bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep.
Is either heaven on hell.
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion looscd
Drifts back and meets yon face TO face
When the chickens come home to roo>t.
Whether you're over or under the sod
The result will be the same:
You cannot escape The hand of God,
You must bear yonr sin or shame,
No matter what's crased on u marble slab,
When the items are all produced
You'll find that st. Peter was keeping "tal,.,'
And that chickens come home to roost.

wrote: "'rhc formulated doctrines, as

IN HE SIDE
SADDLE.

\ woman, however, who is Il fine rider,
only demonstrates anew the cleycrness and
versatility of her sex. In the cramped
position she must assume, with the twist
ing of the spine OH the pelvis, necessitated
by n side saddle, and with one arm con-
fined by the whip behind her, she is indeed
model of skill and grace if she can ride
easily and well, We disclaim any desire
to see the sex riding horse in man-fash-

fact that, considered as an exercise which
develops the body symmetrically and well,

banks Of the Kishow and the Jordan as it
is on the banks of the Hudson; and then
not only will the long exiled Jews return
to the land of their fathers, but Gentiles,
from every nation under heaven, will be
glad to tread those holy fields, and mill
lions will again make Palestine their home.
The spirit of ancient prophecy and the
tendencies Of the time in which we live
agree perfectly in foretelling a glorious
future for the land of Israel. Natural
causes concur with divine promises in fore
tokening the day when the sons of strangers

shall dwell safely in a city without walls,
and the riches of nations shall beau'ify all
the hills and valleys round about the an
cient sanctuary. There shall be no shut

heard in the land, wasting nor destruction
within its boarders. For the people of the
land shall be all righteous, and it shall
be to them an inhabtance forever.

than lie knew when he said many people
shall join and say, ''Let MS so up unto

FRANCIS BkCDN.
History of the Man Who. According TO
Some. Wrote Shalsespeare's Works.

Francis Bacon was born in 1861. He
was thus Shakespeare senior by three
years. His father was Lord Keeper of the
Great Seal, an eminent scholar, patron Of
art and literature. The mothers of great
men have often been remarked upon, and
Bacon's was eminently worthy of her dis
tinguished son; an estimable lady, pious,
shrewd, aifectionate and, in the best sense
of that age, accomplished; learned among
learned women, a capable authoress, yet
motherly among mothers. Bacon was the
son of old age, precocious, but not ephe-
morally so, for his genius went ON expand
ing through all his life. His imagination,
differing from that OF many other men,
deepened, heightened, widened with his
years. lie had ample access in his fathers
home TO books. A student of Cambridge
at the age of twelve, he was at sixteen
wiser than his teachers. In 1916 he en-
tered Gray's Inn on his legal career. Next
year he was sent to Paris as one of the
suite of Sir Amias Panlet, the English
Ambassador. He travelled on the contin-
cnt with the French court, and became
On his return to England he bore a dis
patch to the Queen from the Ambassador,
in which he is referred TO in the most flat
tcring terms. In his twenty fourth year he
entered Parliament, and soon exercised
Y remarkable ascendancy. The author of
many beneficial measures. he was at all
times the chosen representative OF the
Commons in their conflicts with the Peers
and the Crown. Ills wisdom. patriotism
and eloquence were conspicuous. Careful
of the interests Of the people, he was at the
same time loyal in his allegiance to the
Crown. His powers of persuasion were
uniformly employed in furthering and re-
coneiling the welfare of all concerned.
Johnson bears tribute to his eloquence.
There happened,'' he says, ''in my time
one noble speaker, who was full of gravity
in his speaking. His language, where he
could spare or pass by a jest, was nobly
censorious. No man ever spoke more
neatly, more weightily, or suffered less
emptiness, less idleness in what he uttered.
No member of his speech but consisted
of his own graces. His hearers could not
cough or look aside from him without
loss. lie commanded when he spoke, and

DRINKING \ FARM.

Ny homeless friend with the chromatic
nose, while you are stirring up the sugar
in that ten-cent glass Of gin. let me give
you fact to wash down with it. You
say you have longed for years for the free,
independent life of the farmer, but have
never been able to get enough money to-
gether 10 buy a farm. But this is just
where you are mistaken For several
years you have been drinking a good i'm
proved farm at the rate of one hundred
square feet a gulp. II You doubt this
statement figure it for Yourself. An acre
of land contains forty-three thousand five
hundred and sixty square feet. Estimat-
ing, for convenience, the land at s43. sc per
acre, you viii see that this brings the land
to just one mill per square t-ot, one cent
for ten square feet. Now pour down that
fiery dose and just imagine you are swal-
lowing strawberry patch. Cali in five of
your friends and have them help you gulp
down that five hundred foot garden. Get
ON prolonged spree some day, and see

pasture large enough to feed COW. Put
down that glass of gin, there dirt in it,
one hundred square feet of good, rich dirt,
worth s43.56 per acre.
But there are plenty Of farms which do
not cost more than tenth part Of s43.56
per acre. What an enormous acreage has
gone down many homeless rum drinker's
throat. No wonder such men are buried
in ''the potter's field; they have swallow
ed farms, and gardens, and homes. and
even drank up their OWN graye-yards
